Scientists develop smart contact lenses to measure blood sugar through tears
Release date: 2015-07-06
Taiwanese media said that scientists are working hard to develop smart smart contact lenses that not only prevent vision deterioration, but also measure blood sugar.
According to Taiwan’s “Central News Agency†on June 30, the British media reported that myopia is because the length of the eye axis is longer than the eye axis of the normal eyeball, and it is more like an egg type than a table tennis. Today's silicone hydrogel contact lens lenses can change the shape of the eye, called Orthokeratology.
The report said that although it is impossible to eliminate myopia, wearing such a lens for use at night when the axis of the eye grows may prevent or slow down myopia.
Current soft contact lenses also grab "sunscreen" business opportunities to protect the eye from the sun.
Research by Aston University in Birmingham found that anti-UV contact lenses have significant health benefits.
According to the report, one of the major findings is that people wearing anti-UV contact lenses have a higher concentration of pigment behind the eyes, which can protect the macula. The macula is an important part of the central vision.
Swiss scientists are developing contact lenses with built-in amplification for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This hard lens can magnify the image by 2.8 times and combine it with smart glasses. Click on the right eye to zoom in and the left eye to return the picture to normal.
The Swiss company Sensimed launched a contact lens called Triggerfish that continuously monitors intraocular pressure.
Anyone who has just passed the eye drops knows that it is impossible to ensure that all the potions remain in the eyes.
Researchers at the University of California estimate that only 5% of glaucoma supplies reach the affected area, so physicians prescribe more doses than they actually need.
To overcome this problem, the researchers developed a contact lens embedded in a tiny diamond-shaped hole that releases glaucoma.
Google and Alcon are now developing a contact lens that measures blood sugar through the glucose in the tears, so that diabetics don't have to endure the pain.
